Nikko 1-Day Tour from Tokyo w/ Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Lake Chuzenji & Kegon Falls
Overall Rating
4.44
Not recommended & disappointing
Reviewed by: Sunil, 2019/05/11It’s a long drive just to see one shrine. The whole experience was dimmed by the lack of a good guide. Not informative at all. Repeating the same thing. was not courteous to some of the other passengers who were a bit slow. The tour was all about making up the time, get off the bus, view the place and quickly get back on the road. The guide would not even wait for everyone to get off the bus. Many co travelers were disappointed. We have taken many day tours around the world, this was easily the worst experience.

Not worth it
Reviewed by: Barb, 2017/04/22The temple was amazing but you can easily get there by bullet train on your own. The tour is really rushed. You get very little time at every stop and feel like you missed out on a lot of things. The Japanese lunch was absolutely incredible, very tasty and a neat experience. The waterfall was a let down. They take you to the free viewing deck and you have 15mins to take photos, walk around and use the washrooms. On our way to the washroom we saw that we could have paid to go down to a lower viewing deck and face the water fall. We would have liked to do that but weren't told it was available and wouldn't have had enough time for it anyways. Go to the temple on your own, it's walkable from the train station. The waterfall is out of the way and would be tough to get to without a car rental. The guide was delightful and provided a lot of information about Japanese culture, customs and the people. Get ready for a long day on a bus. Be on time.
